“It’s in the blood” is how Nigel describes his relationship to property and more accurately the building industry. His grandfather was a renowned developer in Yorkshire and there’s numerous streets across the county bearing his ‘Clarkson’ surname. “Most of the immediate family is involved in some capacity and my brother will tell you he’s the best contract’s manager in the UK!”
Nigel originally
moved to NZ in 2000, but after various overseas stints he returned with new bride Olga at the end of 2014 to join the Auckland property revolution. He spent 6 very successful years as the top salesperson with Mint Real Estate in Ponsonby before setting up Uptown Apartments to focus primarily on the Uptown area.
“The majority of my sales over the last 6 years have been in Uptown, developments such as Citizen where I’ve sold 35 apartments to date stands out along with 24 at 59 France, 10 at SKHY and 10 at ParkView, so it made sense to make the move, especially with all the future development plans for the area”.
